| - Okay, so this review is purely based on my first time at Tamari. We started off with 2 cocktails, a mojito and a drink called "house of the rising sun". I remember asking our waitress if she would recommend the drink house of the rising sun and she simply said "yes".
The menu is organized by "small plates", "large plates", "robata" and sushi/maki. We ordered the sushi platter, chorizo tacos, and the fried calamari...we were unsure if we ordered enough food so we kept a menu. The waitress seemed very oblivious and really didn't care much.
She brought out the sushi platter first and half way through eating the sushi platter she brought out the calamari. Soon, the tacos are brought out also on the side of the table. We struggled to eat everything at the same time...leaving the tacos to become mushy and dripping in sauce.
After the plates were gone, we skipped dessert and waited for our check. After she took our credit card, she proceeded inside and came back carrying a tray of waters for another table. She continued to wait on that table and took their orders while we waited.
Overall, I thought Tamari lacked in service, the dinner ended up taking about 50 mins...considering it was a Monday night and most of the tables were empty. The sashimi were very good and tasted fresh and the calamari was crispy and spicy with a a tasty dipping sauce. We didn't care much for the tacos since it quickly became mushy. Our bill came out to be $77 including the cocktails which I thought was kind of pricey considering the amount of food.
